Agenda Introductions Kaseya monitoring solution overview Advanced monitoring techniques Problem resolution through automation Monitoring Packs Q&A 3
Kaseya Agent Monitoring Lightweight agent, encrypted communication Automatic discovery Comprehensive monitoring and reporting Alerts Monitor sets Event logs System checks Log files and directories SNMP sets Agent Procedures 4
Kaseya Network Monitoring Integrated agentless monitoring SNMP support with MIB browser/compiler Windows management instrumentation and VMWare APIs Monitoring: Hypervisors, VM datastores, host/device cpu, memory etc. Network bandwidth utilization, routers, switches, firewalls Files, directories, logs, databases, SNMP traps, mail and web servers Configurable: Lua scripts, actions, toplists, reporting/dashboards 5
Value of end-to-end monitoring Today s business applications are complex: Virtualized environments Hybrid networks using both in-house and Internet bandwidth Interdependencies: other applications, databases, Internet connected sources (e.g. supplies availability) Monitoring only end points or only network devices only provides partial visibility End-to-end monitoring reduces MTTI/MTTR Comprehensive monitoring reduces IT costs through better utilization Proactive alerting across the entire infrastructure improves system availability and increases staff productivity. 6
Panelist: Nicolas Ponce Supplemental monitoring Leverage agent based and agent-less monitoring Cloud monitoring ESXi CIM to monitor Vmware & Datastore 7
Supplemental Monitoring What is Supplemental Monitoring and why use it? Leveraging Classic and Network Monitor together Supplemental Monitoring allows for failover alerting 8
